Pokémon TCG Pocket Best Darkrai ex Decks Darkrai ex/Weavile ex Darkrai ex Koga Bounce


Darkrai ex/Weavile ex

  • Sneasel x2
  • Weavile ex x2
  • Murkrow x2
  • Honchkrow x2
  • Darkrai ex x2
  • Dawn x2
  • Cyrus's Initiative x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poké Ball x2
  • Great Cape x2

Darkrai ex's ability to inflict an extra 20 damage when moving Energy synergizes perfectly with Dawn, facilitating Energy manipulation. Weavile ex then capitalizes on this weakened opponent, dealing amplified damage.

This Darkrai ex/Weavile ex combination is currently dominant in the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta. Its rapid setup and aggressive damage output easily overcome decks requiring longer setup times.

Darkrai ex Koga Bounce

  • Koffing (GA) x2
  • Weezing x2
  • Spiritomb
  • Darkrai ex x2
  • Professor's Research x2
  • Poké Ball x2
  • Potion
  • Cyrus's Initiative x2
  • Dawn x2
  • Giant Cape x2
  • Koga's Trap x2

A personal favorite reminiscent of the Genetic Apex era, this deck requires skillful piloting due to its complex interactions. The strategy involves using Weezing's poison for consistent chip damage, while Koga's Trap resets the board when needed. Energy management is key, focusing on maximizing Darkrai ex's damage output while minimizing energy investment in Weezing and Spiritomb.
